Bat Mobile Dragster, 1966 (via www.autoblog.com)

Imagine…you roll up to the car wash and you see THIS, a 1966 Bat Mobile Dragster.  Such is the life of the autoblog.com writers who live in Southern California.  Here’s some intel on the vehicle that appeared in the Batman television series starring Adam West and featuring one of my favorite television theme songs: the Bat Mobile was designed by George Barris who based the legendary car on the 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car, which was never mass-produced (read about the Futura here).
